Abstract

The relevance of the research topic is associated with a small number of existing innovations that are used at the stage of inspecting the scene during the investigation of crimes. Most of the new scientific methods and tools have been developed and are used in the examination of evidence in the framework of forensic examination, for example: DNA analysis, computer image analysis, forensic facial reconstruction, etc. There is a time lag in the scientific support of the photo shooting of the crime scene, the evidence found, their evaluation and visual demonstration in court, which negatively affects the speed and quality of the criminal investigation. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the capabilities of spherical photo technologies of a crime scene and building a visual step-by-step illustration using virtual reality devices. The authors have developed guidelines for capturing the scene of the incident with modern panoramic photo and video cameras, as well as visualizing the captured information using virtual reality devices in crime investigation activities. The use of methods of fixing a crime scene with panoramic photo and video technologies, as well as visualization of the captured information using virtual reality devices will be interpreting and presenting evidence, as well as improve the objectivity and quality of criminal investigation.
